"Guanshi Hu, do you have any plans or plans for your visit to Tailan City this time?"
Zheng Yao picked up the wine glass in his hand, with a slightly flattering smile on his face. His eyes, which were already very small due to the squeeze of fat, became slits when he smiled.
"City Lord Zheng is really clever. Yes, I came to Tailan City this time just to represent Jin Fuxuan to discuss a business with the Lord."
Seeing that his prey had finally taken the bait, Li Mu immediately pursued the victory and directly threw out the excuse he had made up. Of course, he would not act too hastily as he was experienced. He even deliberately had a hint of mystery in his words, which offended this Tailan. The eyes of the city lord shone brightly.
"Haha, Jinfuxuan is a powerful and powerful chamber of commerce that is well-known in the entire fairy world. How can He De, a small Tailan city, deliberately get your favor? Manager Hu, please don't be so estranged from me, brother. This is You can tell me how the business is going to be done, and I, Zheng Yao, will give my full cooperation."
Li Mu's words completely aroused Zheng Yao's interest. He had only two hobbies in his life, power and money. Without any cultivation, he successfully became the city lord of Tailan City through his mastery of power. position, and then began his endless greedy pursuit of money. The private tax order was just one of his many ways to make money.
Jin Fuxuan's reputation is absolutely astonishing in Zheng Yao's eyes, which is why Li Mu received a warm reception from him as soon as he showed up. At this time, seeing that the other party really wanted to find a way to make money in Tailan City, he was naturally overjoyed. Crazy, there are already many ideas popping up in my mind.
"City Master Zheng is serious about his words. In fact, there is nothing special about it. I just want to set up a branch for Jin Fuxuan in Tailan City."
Li Mu's words made Zheng Yao start to tremble, and his eyes showed an incredulous look. Everyone knew that Jin Fuxuan's semicolon had strict requirements for the city where it was located, from size, population base to business environment and so on.
The huge Cangyun Empire only has thirty branch offices. Even the main city might not be able to catch Jin Fuxuan's eyes. If Li Mu hadn't held the token symbolizing the identity of the steward, Zheng Yao would really wonder if the man in front of him was here to make him happy.
"Hu... Manager Hu, are you telling the truth? But as far as I know, there are standards for the establishment of Jinfuxuan semicolons, and our Tailan City obviously does not meet them."
Happiness came so suddenly that Zheng Yao, who had always been a little suspicious, could hardly control himself. After all, if Tailan City could have a chamber of commerce like Jin Fuxuan to establish a semicolon, whether it was from a financial or political perspective, Any angle can greatly enhance his reputation as a city lord.
"Haha, our Jinfuxuan is indeed very strict in the establishment of semicolons, but it is impossible to generalize the rules. We have our own reasons for choosing Tailan City. As long as we can make money, the size and scale of the city actually do not matter. It’s important, City Lord Zheng, I say this, can you understand it?”
Zheng Yao's reaction was completely within Li Mu's expectation, but with his sharp tongue and ability to tell lies without blushing and without a beating heart, something that was originally illogical was forced on him. What he said was serious.
"Then, how do Director Hu need my cooperation? If Jinfuxuan can really establish a semicolon here, it will definitely be a great thing for the people of Tailan City. As the lord of the city, I represent All the people in the city would like to thank Guanshi Hu in advance."
Li Mu's words basically dispelled Zheng Yao's suspicion. In fact, it was the huge benefits that made him choose to believe Li Mu. After the two hit it off, the lord of Tailan City immediately showed his love for the people and his son-in-law. The rhetoric is endless.
Looking at Zheng Yao who was spitting and expressing his thoughts on governing, Li Mu couldn't say anything for a while. He could only pick up the wine glass in his hand and taste the fine wine while waiting for the performance of the city lord. The end.
"So, Manager Hu, you are our Tailan City, Zheng Yao's great benefactor. We in Tailan City will definitely give our full support to the establishment of the semicolon. I think the open space in the east of the city is very good. I will do it tomorrow." I can take you to the site for investigation.”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Mu changed his tone and began to guide Zheng Yao, who was already very excited, toward his intended goal.
"City Lord Zheng, I heard from other people in the city earlier that we in Tailan City have some rules of our own, and we need to ask for advice here. We can also make arrangements in advance so as not to affect our future plans."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Zheng Yao was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal and explained with a smile.
"Indeed, our Tailan City is surrounded by mountains and has a special terrain. It has many special rare products. The people of Tailan City also have their own way of life. Therefore, in order to better benefit the people's livelihood, I have indeed set up many facilities according to the appropriate location. Special bills, but Mr. Hu, I guarantee you that these bills will only be good things for Jin Fuxuan.”
Li Mu knew that the purpose of today's meeting had been achieved. Setting up a private tax order was a capital crime punishable by beheading. No matter how daring Zheng Yao was, he would never admit it in front of an outsider who was meeting him for the first time.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Li Mu explained in detail the plan he had made up to build Tailan City. Anyway, it was not really going to be done. Li Mu specifically chose many details to benefit Zheng Yao. The plan to make money made the lord of Tailan City extremely excited for a while.
The night passed like this in endless reverie. In the end, Li Mu was even stayed in the magnificent city lord's mansion. Zheng Yao also specially arranged for seven or eight beauties of national beauty to come to sleep with him at night. Li Mu declined politely, thinking of Lin Qingzhu and Nie Xiaoyu in the distance, he could still keep himself clean.
The next morning, after Zheng Yao warmly entertained Li Mu for a sumptuous breakfast, he got on the carriage that had been prepared, and then the two of them drove towards the commercial square in the central area of the east of the city.
Tailan City is not large in scale, but the commercial square in the east of the city is definitely an exception. Various shops are gathered here. In addition to local specialties and regular wine shops and drug stores, there are also many that are quite famous in large main cities. A rare business is run here.
"Guanshi Hu, how's it going? Our commercial plaza in Tailan City is not bad. It's not much better than the one hundred and eight main cities in the empire. I've spent countless efforts on it over the years, but As long as I can create benefits for the people, my hard work, Zheng, will be worth it."
Zheng Yao, who was sitting in a gorgeous carriage, still introduced his great achievements and made an impassioned speech. Li Mu would have almost believed him if he didn't know the dirty deeds behind him.
